I really feel like Goodreads needs a 10-star system. This is very well done, both in terms of style and plot, but it's not near and dear to my heart as, say, Infernal Devices. Also love the protagonist's name, haha!

Less than 10 pages into this book and I was undeniably and irrevocably in love with V.E Schwab's writing. I found it fitting that my first V.E Schwab book be her debut novel and I am so happy I picked up this book because of its's raven sprayed edges. I was immersed in a world of mystery and witches and moors and wind and crows, all through Schwab's lush writing and magic woven words. Her writing draws you into a story slowly and gently and suddenly you find yourself fully immersed in the world she has created. I truly enjoyed this book in all aspects; plot, characters, themes and overlaying message and if this is merely her debut novel I cannot wait to pick up the rest of her books as her writing evolves.

Thoroughly bored, seemed like it was trying to be fairytale esque and flowery and I was not interested in the slightest. It was all vibes little plot and none of it was good.
